Future Updates
Issue 17: Dark Mirror updates the Positron Task Force. In Issue 17, it will be split into two halves. The final battle of the Task Force takes place in the Faultline Dam and incorporates a new enemy introduced in Issue 17.

 Vahzilok Clockwork Circle of Thorns |
The Positron Task Force is the first of six Freedom Phalanx Task Forces, and the completion of all six grants the Task Force Commander Badge. The other five task forces are started by Synapse, Sister Psyche, Citadel, Manticore, and Numina.
In order to get the Positron's Ally Badge, a player must complete both Part One and Part Two, which each grant their own unique badges as well (meaning the revamped Positron Task Force awards three badges).
This task force is not designated as a Signature Task Force. As such, missions will spawn mobs at the level of the star holder, but no higher than 16.

Agree to Form a Task Force
I'm glad you're back, Character. Time is of the essence!
The Clockwork, Circle of Thorns, and Vahzilok are all moving forward with their plans and it all revolves around the Faultline Dam!
I need you to form up another team and help resolve this situation once and for all!
Mission Acceptance Agree to form a Task Force.
Dam Heroes
Part One: Rumble in the Sewers
That's the spirit, Task Force Name.
I have Mirror Spirit working in Faultline to look into any activities by the Circle of Thorns. Right now we'll focus on tracking down the Clockwork and the Vahzilok.
Valkryie says that heroes have been reporting a large amount of clockwork going into one of the sewers here in Steel Canyon led by an Assembler Prince called Constructor. I have a feeling they're up to something regarding their Faultline project.
While you check it out, Valkryie and I will keep an eye out for any Vahzilok activities in the other parts of Steel Canyon. They'll be trying to move their operations shortly into Faultline, I'm sure.
Since you and I are going to be working together, you are going to need a code name. I will refer to you as Task Force Name from here on out.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I'd love to help, Task Force Name, but someone needs to make sure the Vahzilok don't make any sudden moves.
Mission Objective(s)
Rusted metal lies tangled in heaps with the twitching remains of Vahzilok abominations. The Clockwork are here, and it seems they're out to get the Vahzilok!
- Clockwork in the Sewers
- 2 Pieces of evidence to find, 'Retrieve' information from Constructor
You stopped the clockwork, but learned some frightening new developments in the threat against the Faultline Dam.
Notable NPCs
- Ulcer (Eidolon)
- Cataract (Eidolon)
- Clarion (Eidolon)
- Constructor (Cannon Prince)
 |
Vahzilok remains |
| You found the dead body of a Vahzilok Reaper within the sewers. Examining him shows that he was attacked by some sort of massive Clockwork. Instead of helping him recover, the Vahzilok salvaged the reaper for parts - while he was still alive! If you had to guess, it may have been the Clockwork King himself who attacked the Reaper, or perhaps one of his larger creations. |
|
Vahzilok chemicals |
| You found a damaged drum leaking some chemicals that are distinctly similar to the ones you found in Epidural's lair. You remember that Positron discovered these chemicals contained traces of Excelsior, which make it easier for the Freakshow to attach their metallic limbs onto their bodies. |
|
The Doctor's Orders |
| You found a document off of Clarion, detailing Dr. Vahzilok's plan for Faultline! It appears that the doctor intends to pour the chemicals you previously found into the Dam, poisoning all of Paragon's water! The note says that it will make the people of Paragon more 'accepting of his blessings', but you can deduce that it will make it easier for the Vahzilok to harvest the bodies of everyone in Paragon! |
Debriefing
Task Force Los Alamos, good to see you. Valkryie just found out that you were sent into a nest of Vahzilok. What did you find there?
Dr. Vahzilok's plans? And you say the Clockwork King himself had been in those sewers?
This is going to get out of hand very quickly if something isn't done. The Clockwork King seems determined to stop the Vahzilok's plans in order to protect this 'Clockwork Princess' of his. I can only assume that if we don't step in, the Clockwork King would be willing to destroy the dam itself to stop Dr. Vahzilok!
Meeting in person isn't going to work anymore, Task Force Los Alamos, especially if this is going where I think it is. I've updated my communicator line to give you a direct line to it whenever you need to speak with me.

Cripple the Clockwork Army
Briefing
Detective Frasenbacker has a lead for us, Task Force Fusion. It appears that the Clockwork are using an abandoned supergroup base in Faultline to store bombs for the Faultline plan. This base was home to many technological heroes - making it the perfect spot for the Clockwork to salvage parts from! You all need to get in there and cut off the Clockwork's plans! These should be the coordinates for the base. You'll need to get in there and destroy whatever the Clockwork are using to build those bombs! If we can stop them here, then this'll be one less group we need to be concerned about with the dam.
Mission Objective(s)
- Destroy the Clockwork's source for spare parts
- Search for any more parts
Speak with Mirror Spirit regarding the Circle
Briefing
You were able to hamper some of the Clockwork's activities, but not enough to fully stop them. The presence of the Circle must mean that they're on the move in Faultline - you'll have to speak with Mirror Spirit to see if she might have an idea of what's going on with them.
Attack the Circle within Oranbega
Briefing
Task Force Fusion, I was hoping you would come see me. Yes, I'm aware that you fought the Circle in that supergroup base. I apologize that I was not able to inform you ahead of time. An entrance to Oranbega has appeared within Faultline. It can only mean that the Circle are on the move once again. I can tell you where to find this entrance. From there, it will be up to you to go in there and stop whatever they are doing. I will let the PPD know that the Clockwork are on the move as well.
Mission Objective(s)
- Look for any clues to the Circle's next move
Save the Faultline Dam and Paragon City!
Briefing
Hold on... Oh no! The police band just exploded with chatter. The Faultline Dam is under attack! I thought Longbow could hold out, but it seems like it came under attack by all three groups at once! What's worse is that the Circle have started to summon Shadow Simulacrums all over the city! Task Force Fusion, there is little time. You need to get to the Faultline Dam and stop the Clockwork, Circle of Thorns, and Vahzilok from destroying each other - and the dam! Valkryie and I will fight off the Shadow Simulacrums within the city to buy you all some time. From the sound of the dispatchers Longbow is reporting attacks both inside and outside of the Dam facility... Task Force Fusion, you need to get to the Faultline Dam. You are the city's only hope! I believe in you, Task Force Fusion. From the sound of it the Clockwork are setting their bombs up both outside and inside the dam. You need to stop them first, or there won't be a dam to save! There is a boat down by the docks in Aftershock. I know the captain and he'll ship you over to the docks by the spillway near the dam. Hopefully the Clockwork won't see you coming by sea and you can take them out before they can detonate the bombs. From there, you'll need to get into the dam and clear it out, then push through and deal with the Vahzilok that are reported in Overbrook, most likely at the water treatment facility. Good luck, Task Force Fusion. You're the only ones left that can save the dam!
Mission Objective(s)
Through the mist rising from the spillway you can see metal forms placing barrels against the Faultline Dam's concrete face. It's up to you and your team to save Faultline!
- Defeat Dr. Vahzilok
- 3 external bombs remain, 3 internal bombs remain, defeat Rollister to stop the ritual, 4 chemical barrels to disable outside the dam
Notable NPCs
- Dr. Vahzilok (Archvillain)

Dam Hero You've saved Faultline from not one, but three separate villain groups intent on using the dam to cause carnage on a massive scale. |

History
In Issue 17, the Positron Task Force was updated and split into two task forces, like it was originally planned. The original incarnation was a single task force because the developers could not figure out how to make a contact give two task forces. This made it long, arduous, and often painful for a large number of players, and it was one of the least liked task forces in the game.
